Where to favour farm?

[thegrassyknoll]

Hello. Been so long since i needed favour for helms city and the iceland that i cant remember where to farm. Now with the "upgrade" items mechanic, farming is required again. Tried looking up old posts and cant find any. Where is the best place to farm for these worlds? As far as the maximum minsc/zorbu enemies and no armour based bosses.

1) main world: beast intentions-100% zorbu/minsc-no Armour
2) kelemvor: templers camp-100% zorbu/minsc-no armour
3) helms: ??? cant remember
4) avernus: a tale of 2-all but 5 or so levels of 50 are zorbu/minsc-armour cant remember
5) iceland: Cant recall ??????
6) new level: 2 options... which is best???????

Thanks for help

From the Tips file: (should be up to date for current meta)

Best farms:
Grand Tour: GF Mad wizard/BG cursed farmer/ FF Beast Intentions
Tomb: Templar's camp
Waterdeep: Attack on the Manor
Avernus: Tale Of Two Cities / The Dead Tree
Icewind Dale -> The Everlasting Rime
Witchlight --> The Witchlight Carnival

GF = Gem Farm
BG = Background
FF = Favour Farm

Zorbu Farms: (no cap, but 250k kills + not worth it)
The Prison of Velkynvelve (Grand Tour) -
Lvl 27 you have beasts and Drow/Humanoid
pretty good level if you ask me
28 is pure drow/humanoid if you need that only

Beast: An Unkindness of Ravens - Any Area(variant in Jaheira's Time Gate/Great Modron March Event)

Undead: Relentless Peril - Any Area (variant of Wrecked Flying Fortress in Avernus)

Drow: Silken Swamp - Area 30 (Sword Coast)

ps I now have to NOTE this: If hewmaan is over 1200%? you farm on cursed farmer.
The Dead Tree is usually the preferred favour farm for the community.

Mad Wizard for initial gem farming due to portals etc.. and spawn rate.
Cursed Farmer is good for farming after Hew hits a certain point as less hitpoint based objectives (such as barriers) - is good for background farming due to the aforementioned non-barriers levels.
Beast Intentions - less range enemies and easy bosses for long runs. However, any of the two (Cursed and Beast) are good for farming favour.

Maybe I should try cursed farmer. I tried beast intentions but there's too many zones where you're just waiting for a single random drop.

I did a favor run on Cursed Farmer and got to 1050. I think it went pretty well.

On his PC, knowing him most likely on his desktop in clean text format.

But, you're most likely not getting your hand on that file - Feel free to ask stuff tho - He'll copy paste more content from the file.

You an also check adventures there (spoiler alert) :
https://idle.kleho.ru/adventures/campaign/

What you want on a favor run : no armored mob, as few distances as possible.

CCP knows me too well haha.

It is a file with all "tips" I gathered since starting really (well april 1st 2020 when I started talking on the forums)

So some of this text "dump" may be out of date. There are some things I don't have a clue what they mean (regarding the numbers at the end). But feel free to ask to clarify some of the notes, as some (if not all) are from vets themselves.

----

START:

Tomb of Annihilation. Fall from Grace, Starving in the Jungle,
Overwhelming Force stand out.
Avernus has some relatively easy ones too:
Raggadragga's Crew, Relentless Peril.
If you can make it to 700-800 normally you ought to be able
to do 600 variants without special restrictions.
The local perks can help a lot.

Tiny Bounty Contracts = 12 tokens
Small Bounty Contracts = 72 tokens
Medium Bounty Contracts = 576 tokens
Large Bounty Contracts = 1152 tokens


8334 Tiny Bounty Contracts = 100,008 tokens
1390 small contracts = 100,080 tokens
174 medium contracts = 100,224 tokens
87 large contracts = 100,224 tokens

If you use Donny to stack kill, you complete multiple area's.
Stacks with Melf's, Sentries and Havilars bonus allowing for a 20 area completion on a stackkill

If 3 or more familiars are assigned to click monsters, they will pick up gold and quest items.
If 5 or more are assigned to click monsters, they will open and loot the gem bag.
If 6 are assigned to click monsters, they will automatically click distractions.

Let us not forget:
- Assign familiars in Click Damage or specific Hero slot to auto-level up, even offline
- Assign up to 3 familiars on the Ultimate bar for each of them to try trigger a random Ultimate every 30s
-> nope, you can assign 4 and each individually has a 30 second timer - so if you could you would trigger 4 ultimates every 30 seconds. Which is kind of overkill I guess :-)
- Assign familiars in specific Ultimate slots to auto-trigger them (did someone say Shielding Bite?)
Also: You can assign up to 14 familiars on your ultimate bar, placing a 15th will remove one on placement.

Feats work on their own. So the buff for 25% slot is x by that slot.
Feats: Just a 4% chance per chest

FARM
use krull
spec: pain (always)
use pain to push and kill boss
use piffler to stack stacks and farm gold after
if you get stack at your wall, go back (3% of total area's) and let him get 20-30 stacks on monsters there
every next boss area = 149% more gold
(20% per area)
so if your pain spec makes him push 10 area's further....
6.2 times as much gold (is a lot more than 40%)

Speed to level ilvls:
Sentry, Briv and Melf

#1 Melf - best speed increase for amount spend (0.55% per level speedy Supplement (thats near 13% for 1 epic contract)
#2 Sentry - 30% * 250/boost gained
#3 Briv - >0.1% chance to jump per level gained.

Patron
Challenge Accepted - 3.48e6

ilvls
It does! +1 for common, +2 uncommon, +6 rare, +24 epic. Also of note: you will not receive a duplicate if a non-duplicate of that rarity can be generated (*except in the same chest)

Note that some, like ultimate cooldown, have a limit (75% reduction) and will not receive duplicates once the cap is reached. It's still hundreds depending on the rarity type.


Shiny: 9
Epic: 222
Rare: 3000

ps
This is old:
Speed to level ilvls:
Sentry, Briv and Melf

#1 Melf - best speed increase for amount spend (0.55% per level speedy Supplement (thats near 13% for 1 epic contract)
#2 Sentry - 30% * 250/boost gained
#3 Briv - >0.1% chance to jump per level gained.

Hew is probably #1 now.

I have a question. Which campaign is easier to get to the maximum area? For achievement.

Events are easier than normal campaigns to gain higher levels at first.

After you hit, around e28 or 30+ it's easy to hit 1,000. For me that happened in Trials game in the Swamp map. I recently also did another 1,000 on Cursed Farmer in Torm.

But it depends where you are in the game, if you are relatively new I wouldn't focus too much on high levels and more on getting the next global tier of blessings on a certain campaign and getting particular champions in order to unlock the modron core.

Hope that helps.

[Hecate]

It depends on your favor.
First three campaigns have a slightly better hp formula for mobs than the three lasts. The second and third offer a 10th slot over the prime, so with a constant favor, either Tomb of Annihilation or Waterdeep heist.

As events have an even better hp formula, you may push more there if you take the time to build some decent favor.

[©ScorP™®☭]

Ok, thanks for answer. I try Cursed Farmer and second campaign. What about time gate? This is similar to the event, or event easy? If so, what time gate to choose?

[Coo Coo Pigeon]

Time gates are easier than campaigns (same difficulty as events)
Which timegate to choose depends on your goal...
If you want to easily earn favor it goes in to a different direction than when you want to upgrade specific event champions.
I myself love Stoki as timegate but I think it's said Alia's is best for favor.
